This show was intoxicating. I get there early because I read my horoscope early in the day and it said, "Get to the Armin show early," so I did. The line itself outside was both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. I felt safe with this hoarde of fuzzers. Once inside I wiped the sweat from my brow every three minutes or so. Along the side near where they felt the least amount of dancing would occur they had set up kiosks for Armin's new Nintendo Wii game. Unable to shake my overwhelming social handicaps it was there I remained. My tendons desperately needed the attention.

As for the tracklist, I dunno for sure. Pretty certain he played that new Andain track. The one where she gargles a wad of crushed up swisher sweets.

He played great music, crowd was great, and the nightclub was packed until the very end. Overall a very good set and a fun night out. They really went for it with the ice cannons too... they were going off constantly all night (even during blakes set, which was also very nice). This was really the key for me.. the club was so packed those ice cannons were saving my ass in the middle of that crowd.

The line was curled around the building at 10:30pm when I got there and we moved through it almost instantly.. couldn't have been more than a 5min wait. The bars kept up with service great as well.. never had an issue waiting for drinks. The only downside to that was they only served 1 beer all night, but, it was only $5 so didn't really mind.

Tracks I could ID from memory in no certain order:

Push - Universal Nation
Faithless - Not Going Home (Armin Mix)
Cirez D - On Off mashed with In and out of love
Sophie Sugar Vs Sunlounger - Lost Together (Armin Van Buuren Mash Up)
Jon O'Bir Feat. Fisher - Found A Way (Joint Operations Centre Remix)
Armin van Buuren feat. Ferry Corsten - Minack (Album Version)
Armin van Buuren - Orbion (Album Version)
Armin van Buuren - Full Focus (Album Version)

My lone video for now ~ can't see shit really cause the ice cannons keep going off. I'll get the other 15 up soon hopefully.

So a sardine can plus the usual tracks it looks like...

I'm sure it was still a good time though. Armin's shows are always a killer. Even if the sardine can makes it uncomfortable as fuck. Disappointed in myself for missing it. Been to every show of his until this one...oh well.

for me, it was a pretty good night. i still think the show back in april 2009 had a lot more energy (from both the crowd and armin). imo, it seemed like armin kept close to just going nuts, and was trying to get the crowd to respond a little bit more but the crowd wasn't helping him go over the edge. i think the big letdown was the vip section. i know the vip pays a lot of money, (i think $225 per head was the quote i got), but they seemed to be bringing down the energy. armin kept looking up at them to try to get them to go nuts, but they just stood there.

Was it just me or was it not loud enough?

Ya, Armin definitely feeds off the crowd most of the time...sometimes I've seen him go crazy as fuck with a zombie crowd though.

But the crowd seemed pretty lifeless for Armin on a Friday night? That's disappointing. I hope Gareth gets more life.

It actually seemed louder to me... weird. I was hanging near the front though.

I didn't intend to come, and I actually didn't make it until a quarter to 1AM. So maybe sobriety is quieter than my normal state at that point.

That $225 included all I could drink.

As for the sardine can we actually kept it 100 people below capacity to keep everyone comfortable.
